MERRIMACK, New Hampshire USA -- FlisKits, Inc., is the newest addition of model rocket kit manufacturers to hit the market with a small but growing fleet of model rocket kits. Based in southern New Hampshire, FlisKits specializes in model rocket kits, accessories and supplies.

Jim Flis (President and founder) said, "We want to present a company and product that brings back tot his hobby that sense of wonder and excitement that all of us older rocketeers remember from our youth," referring to their use of basic raw materials such as balsa nose cones, blank balsawood sheets and provided fin patterns, requiring the use of basic tools and lessons learned from earlier model rocket building experiences.

Jim Flis noted that, "our slogan is 'aim for the sky and try not to miss!'. It is a reminder that our hobby is simply FUN and we hope that your experience at FlisKits, and with our products, is the same."

Opening on September 16th, FlisKits presents a small but variety packed collection of kits with new kits ready for fall release. At the time of this release, FlisKits has 9 kits that will be available on their September 16th opening date, with 3 more kits slated for release within the first week of operation.

"We would like to be able to announce new releases (kits, accessories and supplies) every 4-6 weeks, if we are able," says Jim.

FlisKits was founded by Jim Flis and Brian McCarthy, both of New Hampshire. Jim has been involved in model rocketry since 1963 with Brian joining our ranks in 1969. Jim and Brian met when Jim founded the Goddard Society model rocket club. They, and others from the Goddard Society became regular attendees of the Pearl River MODROC conventions in New York with Jim designing and kiting the anniversary kits in the later years and both Jim and Brian offering their expertise in their lectures, classes and demonstrations.

The Goddard Society, with Jim's lead, went on to found and co-host the New England Model Rocket Convention (NEMROC) in the 80s and early 90s, again designing and kiting anniversary kits for all attendees. All of Jim's designs have been well received at these conventions and make up a part of the initial offerings by FlisKits, Inc.

FlisKits also wish to announce their unique product announcement strategy. "The first 100 of each kit manufactured by FlisKits will be numbered 1 through 100 and the kits numbered "01", the first of each, ever manufactured, will be put up for auction on eBay to help announce them," Jim explains.

Currently, FlisKits only accepts mail orders, but hopes to have an operational e-store opening on their web site soon. Jim and Brian are hopeful for the future of this new company as well as the health of the hobby. Jim emphasizes "We want to hear from rocketeers. We want to know what they want in a model rocket company and kit and look forward to receiving feedback and suggestions about our product, company and web site."
